The limits for foreign buyers are rewritten by decree: three apartments and a cap per development

The first comprehensive decree regulating foreigners’ acquisition rules: acquisition limits widened (three apartments, six for recognising-state citizens, villas in estates), one-year transfer and seventy-five-business-day fee deadlines, eighty per cent cap per project, ten-million-euro investment threshold, two-year window for applications with a construction permit or planning approval, thirty-six months for completed delivered dwellings, share transfers with the Land Registry Director’s approval, and transfer of investment property.

Before

The statutory rules of Law 39/2024 (one property, six-month transfer deadline, twenty-million-euro threshold).

After

The decree limits and deadlines now carried by decree 89/2026.
